Isn't it full of old-fashioned views? Didn't it condone slavery? Why look to the Bible for guidance in building a more just society today? But Timothy Keller sees it differently, In GENEROUS JUSTICE, he explores how to live a life of justice empowered by an experience of grace: a generous, gracious justice. Keller calls on the life-long Christians to acknowledge the fraudulence of a faith without concern for justice for...

Foundations fills the gap, drawing on both previously published and newly written material to deliver a 'survival guide' for the Christian in the first few years of medical practice. Most issues are covered in a double page spread, short enough to be read and processed over a...

Is faith just about going to Church, studying the Bible and avoiding the most serious sins – or does God expect more? Have we embraced the whole gospel or a gospel with a hole in it? Over ten years ago, Richard Sterns came face to face with that question as he sat in a mud hut in Rakai, Uganda, listening to the heartbreaking story of an orphaned child. Stern's journey there took much more than a long flight to Africa. It took answering God's call on his life, a call...

Should we share the gospel with them, or a bowl of soup? Throughout history, men and women such as Wilberforce, Shaftesbury, Carey and Booth have recognised a call to help the needy. Others have argued that our first task is evangelism, that Christian should not meddle in politics, that social action is a distraction. Do we serve Christ through...

In eleven concise chapters, Mark Maynell discusses important theological points accessibly and relevantly, with references from history, poetry and literature. Issues such as the wrath of God and terms such as 'substitutionary atonement' become incentives for praise rather than confusion. Readers are encouraged to keep the...

This can throw sudden light on their condition and its management, leading to profound insights if the clinician is willing and ready to respond. This moment is a gift not to be ignored. Graham McAll has worked as a general surgeon and inner city GP. In this book he has gathered a combination of personal anecdotes and reflections from around the world which illustrate the value of...

It's thoroughly biblical, but also references a wide range of sources from fiction, philosophers and artists. The first part addresses the most common arguments against Christianity, and the second examines seven reasons for believing in Christianity and ends with the gospel message. This book is a great resource for believers for answering questions and criticism, and I have much more...

The same is true for being single. Surely it's just bad luck to find yourself both single AND a Christian! Often we can feel that marriage is the norm, and with that comes pressure to settle down and find 'the one'. Hsu dispels those pressures as he tackles a range of isues surrounding singleness. He deals with these topics sensitively, while firmly reminding us that our wishes may not be the same as God's plans. He discusses whether singleness is a gift...

It's accessible for a wide audience and well structured, allowing the reader to look through individual sections or read it as a whole. The book is not just great at discussing the theology of evangelism and the sovereignty of God, but applying this in our lives as we evengelise one to one with our friends. Those who've done the 'Confident Christianty'...

It touches all the big and sometimes hard-to-grasp topics, like election and justification, in a very readable way. It's not all you need to know, but an opening into discovering more about what the Bible teaches. Each of the 20 chapters deals with a different topic, always based on the Bible. One of the book's most helpful aspects is...

Try this: The Fight offers an overall, Bible-based quide to the Christian life as a whole. Psychiatrist John White makes clear what it means to be born again, describing our new status before God and looking in more detail at how we can live this out.

Dig Deeper is written both for personal and group study. Filled with activities and Bible passages, this book highlights different depths of the Bible that are not obvious at first glance. Sometimes, because of the way the modern Bible is sectioned, it becomes relatively harder to see the Bible themes. Dig Deeper shows us how to identify the...

Don't expect to get away with just a brief glimpse into God's word - each chapter ends with the Bible study which proved an excellent prompt for personal study and reflection. This book is not a substitute for seeking God's purposes and discovering more about his character in the Bible for yourself, but it is a very useful tool. 2 Timothy 3:16 tells us that 'All Scripture is...

How ought we to think about the ethical and legal issues? What can any of us do to improve and safeguard the lives of those cared for? This book seeks to examine such questions in detail and find ethically robust answers. Among the topics discussed are: the 'persistent vegetative state', medical research, and sterilisation of intellectually disabled adults. The book includes an up-to-date account of...

How, in a scientifically and technologically advanced age, can people still believe in God? Professor Andrew Sims examines both the connection and the division between Christian faith and psychiatry, arguing that, although they seem to represent different worldviews, they have much to gain from one another.

He shows how anxiety, guilt, depression and doubt can be present in... Thu, 18 Nov 2010 13:00:00 GMT http://www.cmf.org.uk/bookstore/?context=book&id=204
